March Writers Group

A smaller meeting today and a great variety of writing from poems to flash fiction and even a scene from a film script. And can you believe it I actually had something to share this time. Only a tiny piece of flash fiction, but still some writing. Maybe now I've finished writing user guides at work, I'll have more appetite for writing fiction again.This months homework:

In memory of Terry Pratchett who died last
week, try giving life to an inanimate object.
If you get stuck use his Luggage as inspiration.

(The Luggage is a large chest made of sapient
pear wood. It can produce hundreds of
little legs from its underside and can move very fast. Its function is as both a luggage carrier and
body guard for its owner. Its mouth, the
feature often remarked upon by those about to be consumed, contains “lots of
big square teeth, white as sycamore and a pulsating tongue, red as mahogany.” It does not appear to be constrained by its
external dimensions – having just devoured someone, the next time it opens the
owner will find his underwear, neatly pressed and smelling faintly of lavender.)
